Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster to deliver State of the City speech

LONG BEACH — Mayor Bob Foster will deliver the State of the City address at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 15, his office announced Monday.

The address, Foster's seventh as mayor, will be held in the Center Theater of the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, 300 E. Ocean Blvd.

Tickets are free to Long beach residents and available by calling 562-570-5089 or through www.mayorbobfoster.com. There is limited seating; two tickets may be reserved per address, and last year, all tickets were distributed within two weeks of the event's announcement.

"Whether you are joining me in person at Center Theater or watching live online, I'm looking forward to the opportunity to deliver the annual State of the City address to our city's residents and community leaders, and reflect on the past year and look forward to the future of Long Beach," Foster said in a statement.
